Anatomical Concepts (UK) Ltd is now the UK distribution partner for RehaCom.FES Cycling client in the news
A news item in the Courier features Anatomical Concepts (UK) client Kevin Christie. Left blind and paralysed from the chin down following an accident at a summer barbecue a number of years ago, Kevin has expressed his lasting gratitude to all those who continue to support and care for him.
Kevin (37) severed his spinal cord and suffered terrible consequences when a seemingly harmless bit of horseplay at a party in 2004 went horribly wrong. On that day Kevin miscalculated a dive into a children's paddling pool and sustained an injury which has left him requiring almost round-the-clock care.
New software is powerful tool for therapy
RehaStim has proved itself to be very effective for FES Cycling. Partnered with a MOTOmed motion trainer, we have many clients around the world routinely exercising at home. Whether following spinal cord injury or post-acute stroke, this technology has an evidence base supporting its use. It’s often not considered therapy any more – this is about enhancing quality of life.
However, RehaStim DOES have a powerful role to assist therapists who have more general muscle stimulation needs. When you don’t want to use FES as part of a fixed FES Cycling regime, there is a version of RehaStim for you.
RehaBike offers people affected by paralysis a higher quality of
life through physical exercise during an activity which is fun!
Motor powered ergometers form a part of standard therapy in movement disorders, for example after stroke or accidents.
